Mr. Stone’s Thought of the Week…
It’s an exciting week of concerts this week! These musicians have been working hard and are excited to perform for all of you. Looking forward to seeing you all there!
Ms. Munday’s News & Notes…
As we are in the final preparations for our concert and festival performance this week, I contemplate how to “bump up” getting ready. We have practiced a lot – gone through the motions, as it were – of what will go on at the performances. I look back on my own life of performances, and I’m sorry that so many of them were done in a state of nervous anticipation rather than enjoyment. I think the secret is to practice like the dickens prior to the performance, and then perform with joy. I wish this for each and every student performing this week!
Festival Volunteers
Festival is Friday, March 9th.
We are looking for a volunteer to help setup the snack booth early in the morning, as well as helpers to run the snack booth throughout the day. Please consider helping!
